Server Load

While the standard Unix loads for your server are available via IRC and SSH, we find for many who aren't familiar with these figures already they don't give a useful point of reference of what the server is doing versus what it's capable of.

Because of this, we've developed a lab project known as Stats.

Our Stats page can be found at /labs/stats on all of our servers. You will need to login with your credentials to see the page.

CPU

Grey These are core level services necessary for the operating system to function, it includes things like prioritizing disk access and regulating memory operations.

Orange These are user consumed cycles for everyone on the server, this includes every program a user starts or is running.

Cyan These are "nice" processes, things that are only asking for idle CPU cycles and will always yield to any other process.

Memory

Orange This is RAM currently in use by all applications.

Cyan This is Cache ram, things that are stored there for quick use by the CPU.

Disk I/O

Orange This is the Disk I/O of all users on a given drive.
